I have two monitors. The screensaver shows fine on my primary monitor, but it doesn't blank out the second monitor. Ideally the screensaver should have the option to play across both monitors at once or to play separate games on both screens.

Playing across both monitors shouldn't be that bad but putting a different game on each monitor might be even more interesting. Nice idea thanks Dylan.

Another option - view one team per monitor. Nice for large maps and you want to compare strategies.

I'm not sure I can get it to work on multi-monitors which kinda blows. The graphics layer I use my not be able to handle it. I have a question in with them right now.

Could you run a stub program that is just a black window to cover up all other monitors?

This site has some good multi-monitor support:

I can do a hack like cover it with another window but I am trying to see if the graphics lib will let me expand the screen some how.
